The small caveat is that the instruments were all strings, percussion, and keyboards, so it's really four core skillsets (including singing) and a huge number of variations.

Don't get me wrong - playing the guitar and playing the bass are very different, as are playing piano and playing the organ. And even then, there are very few people in the world who can play even the basic versions of all of those as well as he could.
I saw him live only once, when he was the symbol. Dude played a lot of different instruments, don't know how many but he jammed. 27 just sounds like a lot but yeah, they are probably variants on the same thing in some cases...
